When time isn’t on your side, we are
Are you interested in being unbeatable?
Off-hire time. Late docking time. Delayed sailing time. When it feels as if time is against you, ERIKS can help to turn the tide, with comprehensive component supply, extensive engineering resources, and technical expertise in repair and replacement - all supported by a global logistics infrastructure. Whether it’s key equipment failure, problems with cargo handling gear, temperature control and refrigeration equipment, charging or discharging machinery - when you need a situation resolved you need it resolved quickly. So you need a supplier you can rely on to supply the right parts, to the right place, at the right time. That means you need a supplier with a complete understand- ing of the marine industry and the equipment it employs, of the demands of classification and legislation, and with the know-how and capability to repair or replace – and even upgrade – at sea, in port, or in dry dock, whether in an emergency or during a scheduled service. ERIKS has the products, the expertise, and the resources, to get your port back in operation, vessel back on hire, out of port or dry dock and back on schedule - quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively.
Repair or replace?
ERIKS is your supporting industrial partner. Thinking ahead. Developing ideas. Taking your business to the next level. And we do everything for your success. We understand that you want to efficiently streamline your production process at manageable costs. Increase production with the smallest possible margin of error. ERIKS delivers success where you most need it. Our products and solutions make sure that nothing stands in your way. So you can exceed expectations and be unbeatable.
When a breakdown occurs, the temptation is to effect a repair immediately and get your vessel underway as soon as possible. In fact, if your chosen engineering partner has repair expertise but no capability to supply a replacement, that will be the only option offered. Even though it could have a worse impact in terms of cost or scheduling further down the line. ERIKS, on the other hand, has the capability and resources to offer you - where practical - the option to repair or replace. So you can make your decision based on what’s best for your budget and your schedule. In addition, ERIKS’ extensive in-house engineering facilities give you better control over lead times – as well as quality – so that, if you opt for a temporary repair, a full repair can be more effectively scheduled to suit your requirements and availability of the replacement item.
When Arie Eriks founded our company in 1940, he understood that know-how always makes the difference: thorough knowledge of products, processes, solutions and of course people. Over the past decades, ERIKS has grown from a small-scale producer of mechanical seals for dairy factories, into a multinational with specialist activities in the international industrial playfield. And today, knowhow continues to make the difference. Propagated and implemented worldwide by over 8000 people working at ERIKS.

Industrial plastics
The coupling, belt, chain drive or gear unit is the vital link between prime mover and driven machine in setting the speed, smoothing-out shock loads, and keeping things moving. As such, it demands careful selection, application and maintenance.

For repairs and maintenance in a fire or explosion hazard area, the use of the right tools is essential. One unintended spark can lead to explosion and fire, resulting in possible human and material damage. To avoid arcing, the use of nonsparking tools is therefore essential. Whether Aluminium/Bronze or Copper/Berylium alloys are needed, we supply the right tested and TüV and ISO certified tools.
